Ritual? Rite? Something like that.

Barring holidays, Monday is garbage day in my neighborhood. Making Sunday garbage night. (Funny how that works.) It's a few trips. 2-4 for recyclables, one more for trash itself.

Which I kind of like. It gives me one more chance to give the street a once over before I go to sleep. Only during torrential downpours am I really eager to get it over with.

You are a very good neighbour.

Living as we do in a multi apartment building every day is garbage day since there's a special room and containers for that purpose. Usually it's no more than messy than you'd expect, but there are times when it's amazingly disgusting. I know this probably won't surprise you but there are people who never heard of recycling. In fact it appears there are some who don't take out any of their garbage until the day they move out. Yuck.

I guess I try to be. I'd like to be.

Ah, I see buildings that extensive but have never lived in one. It doesn't surprise me at all the number of people who don't grok recycling (although it's kind of counter to the stereotype for Canada.) As for not taking out the garbage at all, that might be a battle of wills. Some young people have picked up responsibility, others haven't, and those who have don't want to be used by those who haven't.
